Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. In a projection display device comprising a digital circuit for subjecting an input image to image deformation processing, an operating unit for entering an image deformation command, a CPU into which the image deformation command from the operating unit is entered, and a nonvolatile memory controlled by the CPU, the CPU continuing to transmit, when the image deformation command from the operating unit continues to be entered, the image deformation command to the digital circuit, the digital circuit sequentially making calculation for image deformation when the image deformation command continues to be transmitted from the CPU, to perform the image deformation processing such that the degree of image deformation is gradually increased, the CPU comprising means for receiving, when the image deformation processing by the digital circuit is terminated, the degree of image deformation at the time of the termination from the digital circuit, and storing the received degree of image deformation in the nonvolatile memory, and means for causing, when an image deformed state is returned to an initial state before the deformation by turning the power of the projection display device on or off, the digital circuit to subject the input image to the image deformation processing until the degree of image deformation stored in the nonvolatile memory is reached on the basis of the degree of image deformation stored in the nonvolatile memory.
2. The projection display device according to claim 1 , wherein the digital circuit subjects the input image to trapezoidal distortion correction processing, the degree of image deformation being the amount of trapezoidal distortion.
3. The projection display device according to claim 1 , wherein the digital circuit subjects the input image to image enlargement/reduction processing, the degree of image deformation being the rate of image enlargement at the time of enlarging the image, while being the rate of image reduction at the time of reducing the image.
4. In a projection display device comprising a digital circuit for subjecting an input image to image deformation processing, an operating unit for entering an image deformation command, a control circuit into which the image deformation command from the operating unit is entered, and a nonvolatile memory controlled by the control circuit, the control circuit continuing to transmit, when the image deformation command from the operating unit continues to be entered, the image deformation command to the digital circuit, the digital circuit sequentially making calculation for image deformation when the image deformation command continues to be transmitted from the control circuit, to perform the image deformation processing such that the degree of image deformation is gradually increased, the control circuit comprising a circuit for receiving, when the image deformation processing by the digital circuit is terminated, the degree of image deformation at the time of the termination from the digital circuit, and storing the received degree of image deformation in the nonvolatile memory, and a circuit for causing, when an image deformed state is returned to an initial state before the deformation by turning the power of the projection display device on or off, the digital circuit to subject the input image to the image deformation processing until the degree of image formation stored in the nonvolatile memory is reached on the basis of the degree of image deformation stored in the nonvolatile memory.
5. The projection display device according to claim 4 , wherein the digital circuit subjects the input image to trapezoidal distortion correction processing, the degree of image deformation being the amount of trapezoidal distortion.
6. The projection display device according to claim 4 , wherein the digital circuit subjects the input image to image enlargement/reduction processing, the degree of image deformation being the rate of image enlargement at the time of enlarging the image, while being the rate of image reduction at the time of reducing the image.
